About the estate:
On the heights of Bourg, an estate that has been in the family for over a century, dominated by a small 15th-century castle, renovated in the 19th century, with pepperpot towers. Valérie and Philippe Bassereau took over in 1990. The size of the vineyard (45 hectares) allows them to offer wines that are anything but obscure.
